In August 2025, Clara Kleininger-Wanik joined the FEELed Lab as a visiting artist and researcher. She worked with the Friends of Woodhaven Society, FEELed Lab members and the many more-than-human inhabitants of Woodhaven Park to create a multispecies sensorial documentary to capture the prevalent thirst in the park. You can read Clara’s reflections on her residency and the process of creating Thirsty in this FEELed Note.

On August 27 we hosted a screening and discussion of the film at the FEELed Lab. If you missed it, you can now watch the film whenever you like on Vimeo!
